In this episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates," Drew and Rob tackle a packed agenda, diving into the latest headlines, developments, and season recaps surrounding the Giants. The show kicks off with the shocking news that the Giants have fired Defensive Backs Coach Jerome Henderson, who had been with the team since 2020. Safeties Coach Mike Treier was also let go. Henderson was instrumental in developing rookies Tyler Nubin and Dru Phillips into productive players this season, and his past work included helping elevate players like Fabian Moreau and Jason Pinnock. However, a massive drop in turnovers, including a franchise-record 11 straight games without an interception, and the limited development of Deonte Banks seem to have factored into the decision.
The show shifts to discussions about potential coaching changes at other levels, focusing on the future of former Giants Defensive Coordinator Wink Martindale. After a stint as Michigan's defensive coordinator, Martindale is interviewing for NFL positions, including meetings with the Falcons and Colts, with the Bengals rumored to be interested.
Drew and Rob also cover some welcome news for fans: the Giants will not be raising ticket prices for the 2025 season. Season ticket holders received confirmation through a letter, ensuring some stability for those attending games at MetLife Stadium.
A highlight of the episode is the recognition of rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who has been nominated for NFL Rookie of the Year. Nabers set a Giants franchise record for receptions in a season with 109 catches, surpassing Steve Smith's 2009 record of 107. His achievements also placed him second in receptions and receiving yards among rookies this year and broke the all-time rookie record for games with five or more receptions. While he is a standout candidate, Drew and Rob acknowledge that he may finish behind his college quarterback Jayden Daniels or fellow rookie Brock Bowers, given the historic competition.
Finally, the episode concludes with an in-depth review of the Giants' defensive line performance during the 2024 season. Dexter Lawrence led the group with another dominant season, recording nine sacks, 16 quarterback hits, and a stellar 89.9 PFF grade. Other players like Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Elijah Chatman provided moments of impact, while others, such as DJ Davidson and Elijah Garcia, contributed in more limited roles. The hosts also touch on the futures of free agents like Armon Watts and the potential for offseason changes to bolster this unit.
This comprehensive episode offers Giants fans everything they need to stay up-to-date on coaching changes, player milestones, and a detailed look at one of the team's key positional groups as the offseason begins. Whether it's celebrating Malik Nabers' historic rookie campaign or analyzing the defensive line's ups and downs, Drew and Rob provide a thorough breakdown of all things Giants.
